Enumerate, each NZF residential loan is insured by Tower, if a specific loan went into default and the property was sold in mortgagee auction say, any shortfall would be covered by Tower and paid to NZF, Tower would then look to the borrower to recover that cost. This is an added bonus to RMBS institutional investors (the RMBS issue is not available to the public).

In my view, NZF have turned the corner, thanks to very cautious directors and board members with many years of experience (the two executive directors drive a commadore and a subaru, they are not flash Harry's!), expect some ramping up with new equity and jv activities!
